We've said it before, but it bears repeating that the popularity of characters such as Captain America and the willingness of comic writers and artists to confront the Axis threat went a long way toward mobilizing a heretofore isolationist American populace in the long, dark days of the late 30s and early 40s. While many other art forms desperately avoided or ignored the ugly truth of Europe's rapid slide into fascism and Nazism in an obvious attempt to protect their own financial interests overseas, the almost entirely US-based comics business, staffed and developed largely by fugitives from those same wartime horrors, boldly waved the flag of freedom, most notably in this instant classic. Readers immediately fell in love with this gutsy, gleefully aggressive new hero, who wore his allegiance on his sleeve (well, his forehead, at any rate) and made his intent powerfully clear by taking aim directly at the mustachioed puss of the Fuhrer himself. In these pre-Pearl Harbor days, such an image was simply incendiary, and copies flew off shelves almost immediately, leading to a nearly 75 year run as the preeminent symbol of American heroism.

The premieres of the Captain America and Avengers movies have catapulted Captain America's popularity into the stratosphere. His star is on the rise. The demand for Captain America Comics 1 has grown exponentially over the last two years. Records are constantly being set and broken. With two more Cap and Avengers movies scheduled the demand will grow and grow.

This copy is simply gorgeous. The colors are bright and saturated and the edges are straight and neat. The value of this comic cannot be overstated as the iconic Hitler-punching cover has been a coveted piece of history since before Cap's expanded popularity.

Overstreet Guide 2017 FN- (5.5) value = $57,750.

I just wanted to write to you to thank the staff of ComicConnect for allowing me to get one of my bucket list comics for which I honestly never thought I'd be able to afford. I'm so happy with the time payment structure that was set up because it makes regular blue collar guys like me able to get the books they only dreamed of getting. Thank you so much.
